California County Knowledge Center
California County Supervised Visitation Training Guides
County-focused training guidance for prospective California professional providers, including statewide training requirements, training-specific local considerations, and direct links for verifying current court rules.
Why County Training Guidance Matters
California Family Code §3200.5 and Standard 5.20 establish the statewide professional-provider training framework. Local courts may still have their own expectations about training documentation, accepted training sources, or how a certificate is used for a local court purpose.
Always verify the current local rules.
These pages are educational training summaries, not county provider-list application guides. Court rules and instructions can change. Before relying on a certificate, check the Superior Court’s current local rules and official training-related instructions for the county where you intend to work.

What Every Prospective Student Should Verify
Training Documentation
Retain a detailed certificate, agenda/hour matrix, mandated-reporter certificate, and records supporting guided self-paced coursework.
Training Source
Check whether the county or local court program has a special rule about accepted training sources. San Diego is an important example.
Delivery Format
Do not assume synchronous virtual classroom hours will be accepted for every local purpose; verify current county requirements before relying on them.
